Bill sat on Mabel's bed while she watched him.

"...annnnnd that is how you sleep!"

"Well, Shooting Star, I have to congratulate you. Listening to that was...a complete waste of time. You just explained how to do a whole lot of nothing."

"Yep!"

"So sleeping...is just doing nothing?"

"Umm...yes? No? Kind of. Is it? Dipper?"

Dipper had been listening to this boring, pointless conversation for at least a half an hour, and he was ready for it to be over NOW.

"In order to sleep, you lie down, close your eyes, and be completely silent." He said.

"Nooo! You don't get it!" Screamed Mabel. "What is sleeping? Are you doing nothing?"

Dipper sighed.

"I'll... go get a dictionary."

Dipper walked downstairs, leaving Mabel and Bill in silence.

"Well. Dipper's gone now."

"Yes. Yes he is."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Only if then I can ask you a question."

"Okay!"

"Okay.

"Why did you try to make Earth all weird?"

"Is Earth not already weird?"

"You know what I mean!"

"Yeah. I dunno. I was bored?"

"I don't think that's it."

"What does a sweater-wearing thirteen-year-old know?"

"Hey! This Sweater-Wearing thirteen-year-old knows lots of things!"
"And, notably, is also part of a Great Prophecy, I've noticed. That'd get just about anywhere in the multiverse."

"What's a Great Prophecy?"

"I dunno, you tell me, Miss I-Know-Lots-of-Things."

"You know lots of things though. You said so yourself!"
"You remember that?"
"It's hard to forget."

"Are you part of a Great Prophecy?"
"Hard not to be when you're being used as a storage container for the essence of pure Chaos."

"How many?"

"Just four that I know of. You can only do so many heroic deeds in one lifetime."

"So the Great Prophecy says you'll be heroic? "
"Eh, it's a Prophecy. Kinda hard to tell."

"What's it say?"
"Hold on, let me think a minute. It's not in English."
A minute passed. Mabel crossed her legs.

"When the time comes that snow and thunder collide, a confession shall bring forth the rise of hope.
It shall be on the day that rocks will rain from the sky, the Emperor of Lies shall usher forth a new fury and a time of serenity. The darkness abides in the wrong souls. Fire will put out water. Blood will rain from the heavens."

"That...doesn't sound good."

"Yep."

So...what's the one with me in it?"
"Welll...I actually don't know what the one with you in it sounds like. But I said "Shooting Star" and Juni was like "OH MY GOSH. YOU WERE DEFEATED BY THE SHOOTING STAR? THE ONE FROM THE GREAT PROPHECY?!" And I was like "Sure, I guess." And then she freaked out. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it was a thing that happened."

"Juni? As in Juniper? Is she the girl who was with you earlier?"
"Yeah. She's my sister."

"Is she cool?"
"Yeah, kinda, I guess. Can we not talk about her?"
"No. SHARE WITH ME THE SECRETS OF THE WORLD AND YOU RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS!"
"Shooting Star-,"
"Or I could go tell Great Uncle Ford you're here...,"

"NO! No, okay...When Juni and I were kids, we were friends. Good friends. We wouldn't go anywhere without each other. Then one day we were offered what seemed to be the greatest honor in the world at the time-we were going to get to be the Spirits of Chaos and Order. We-,"
"You were the Spirit of Chaos, weren't you?"
"NO. I'M THE FREAKING SPIRIT OF PURE ORDER."
"Oh. okay."
"You'll believe anything, won't you? OF COURSE I'm the Spirit of Chaos. We accepted. We were amazing with our new powers. But everyone loved Juni. I was shoved to the side, ignored...forgotten. Even though I knew she was still technically Juniper Cipher, she didn't feel like my sister anymore."
"Why'd they need you two?"
"The other Spirits of Order and Chaos kept killing the other every millennia or so, they needed somebody who wouldn't do that. Two somebodies, actually. I...I just...,"
He was silent.

Mabel hugged him.

"Why don't we talk about something else? You were telling me about Great Prophecies before. What are the other ones you're in?"

Bill looked relieved to have something to say.

"When the day comes that prey kills predator, four siblings shall cause an end to enemies. The Emperor of lies will wed the Lady of justice. A surrender will signify a time of growth and an era of honor.

A child's sorrow will seal fates with a gift."

"It's the Emperor of Lies again!"
"Yep."
Dipper ran in.

"1. Sleep is the natural periodic suspension of consciousness during which the powers of the body are restored, and 2. I think I just found Bill's sister."
